# For a fruit salad where the pieces are small enough that one spoonful includes more than one piece, is judged by majority. If there’s a majority of fruit that have the Bracha of HaEtz which is the usual case, the Bracha is HaEtz. However, if there’s a majority of fruits which are HaAdama (such as pineapple or strawberry), then the Bracha is HaAdama. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 93, chapter 11) </ref> However, the pieces are large enough that only one comes on the spoon or fork at a time, then each fruit requires it’s own Bracha. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 94, chapter 11) </ref>

# For a chocolate covered nut (any nut besides peanut), one should decide whether one’s primary intent is for the nut or for the chocolate and make the Bracha on the primary one, however, if both parts are primary to you, then some say just make HaEtz, and some say to separate the two and make two Brachot. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 96, chapter 11) </ref>
# For a chocolate covered nut (any nut besides peanut), one should decide whether one’s primary intent is for the nut and the chocolate is only an enhancer or the chocolate is primary and the nut is an enhancer and make the Bracha on the primary one. Meaning, if one views the nut as primary make a HaEtz or Haadama as appropriate for the nut. If the chocolate is primary, make a shehakol. <ref>Laws of Brachos (pg 215), Halachos of Brachos (pg 417), Vezot HaBracha (pg 96)</ref>
## If one really likes both the chocolate and the nut: some say that one should make the Bracha on the majority ingredient and if one can't determine the majority make Shehakol <ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 96)</ref>, while others hold that one should say HaEtz except on chocolate covered peanuts which requires two Brachot (make Shehakol on chocolate covering and HaAdama when one reaches the nut).<Ref> Laws of Brachos (pg 215)</ref>
# For an ice cream sandwich, 2 brochot are required (mezonot and shehakol) in the usual case where one’s intent is both for the ice cream and for the cookie. <Ref> VeTen Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Pinchas Bodner, pg 72, chapter 4), Vezot HaBracha (pg 92, chapter 11) </ref>

# For chocolate cream pie, if one eats it as a regular pie and the cream enhances dough, then only Mezonot is needed.
